Tips for marinades

In addition to the usual coating with oil, the roasts are often pre-pickled in a marinade, in which the meat not only becomes tender, but also acquires a better taste. Beef gets along well with spices and condiments, so it’s up to us what kind of marinade we prepare. For example, it can be:

oil marinade: The basis of the marinade is good table oil, which is seasoned with spices, pressed garlic, lemon juice and various seasonings.

wine marinade: the basis is red or white wine. We also season this wine marinade with various spices or suitable herbs.

mustard marinade: As a base, we can use both ordinary full-fat mustard and the more spicy Kremžska mustard, and both of these mustards can also be flavored with sharp Dijon mustard. We can also add a little ketchup, soy sauce and spices to the mustard.

ketchup marinade : We add mild and sharp ketchup to the base of the marinade, which we add to taste with any spices or pressed or wiped garlic.

honey marinade: The marinade, which is based on liquid honey, is usually diluted a little more with wine, beer or lemon juice. We choose the spices for the marinade according to taste, we often add crushed garlic.

fruit marinade: These are less common, but very tasty marinades, where we use sharper-tasting fruit jams, jams or fruit juice as a base. We also supplement these fruit ingredients with spices.
